A man who was critically injured in a shooting late this afternoon in North Linden is expected
to survive, police say.

The shooting occurred shortly before 5:20 p.m., when a caller to 911 said that someone had just
been shot at 2959 Cleveland Ave., just across from Kenlawn Park.

The shooting happened in the side yard of the apartment complex there, though police found the
victim inside an apartment on the ground level. Columbus police patrol officers at the scene said
blood was found just outside the door.

The man, whose name hasn’t yet been released, was shot in his midsection and taken to Wexner
Medical Center at Ohio State University. Early this evening, his condition was upgraded from
critical to stable.

The Police Division’s assault squad is investigating. There have been no arrests.
